Thank you for the questions.
The bill is intended, through the three principles that I enunciated in my opening remarks--active prevention, targeted oversight, and rapid response--to be, as my colleague Charles answered in response to the last question, something that will evolve to the market.
So this actually a bill that is intended to respond not just to the problems of 2009, but also to the problems of 2010 and beyond, by making sure that the department has the tools necessary to respond to an evolving marketplace.
We are finding, as a result of globalization, that with the introduction of new products, new technologies, there is a need for us to be flexible. So the system needs to respond to what we think of as active prevention. The needs for standards may shift over time, as we move forward, as we see the introduction of new technologies, new products, and as we learn what works and what doesn't in working with civil society, with industry, with other stakeholders.
The targeted oversight is intended to provide us with the information we need to then take an appropriate response relative to the risk that we see—this is a risk-based piece of legislation—as we move forward.
Then, finally, underpinning all of that, when we see that there are problems, is the notion of that rapid response.
It's meant to be something that will evolve as the markets evolve and as the products evolve. There was the notion that one product or one toy always used to come from the same plant, and we could count on that being the issue if there was a problem with it. With the range of issues that we are having to deal with, we're seeing that the market has changed with globalization, with the inputs into that, and with the products coming out of one plant differing with the source products going into that. There is a need for us to have flexibility to respond as we move forward.
